      @VectorStyler said in update 1.1.100:

      Show composited groups with a special label in the layers panel.

      Am I missing the label? I have an example of a compound grouping and a singular object, but both leayer labels look the same in build 100.

      Even if I group two compound paths that are each grouped, I get a standard "group" label

        I get the word "{Composite}" in the Layers panel.

        Select 2 objects > Object > Composite Shape > Compound

          @pentool ok I figured out the issue. If I use the Object > Composite Shape > Combine, I get the intended result. If I use the shortcut for the same thing, command-8, it makes a compound shape but does not register it as such in the layer panel

          Here is a video showing this

            @Boldline Command-8 triggers the "destructive" Combine operation (Object > Combine Path > Combine)
            which results in a path, not the composite operation which lets you move/edit the objects inside the
            composite object with the third mode of the Select/Transform tool.

            Btw, Option-clicking any of the Combine buttons in the context panel triggers the non-destructive
            Boolean operation instead.
